Congratulations to our 4/26/24 Reede Gray Cardinal Code Shoutouts this week. There are times when we need to use our Courage to choose what is Kind. Kindness is one of the most important skills to build and it isn’t always easy. Kindness can be used to help others and helping others sometimes means giving your time, your energy or your bravery. We use Courage to practice Kindness all the time. This weeks students are growing in their Courage. We are very proud of each of them! *Be Respectful *Be Responsible *Be Safe #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #OhHeyReedeGray #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #CardinalCode #Courage#Woohitike

Congratulations to our 4/12/24 Reede Gray Cardinal Code Shoutouts this week. This month our character trait focus is on Courage. JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter book series said, “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. “ When someone does something we do not like, it is important to tell them in a Respectful way. It is important to use your Courage to stand up and say something. Our students are already practicing their Courage and we are very proud of each of them! *Be Respectful *Be Responsible *Be Safe #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #OhHeyReedeGray #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #CardinalCode #Courage#Woohitike

Congratulations to our 4/5/24 Reede Gray Cardinal Code Shoutouts this week. This month our character trait focus is on Courage. Courage means choosing what is helpful, right and kind–even when it is hard or scary. Each day we face the challenge of tasks or duties we often avoid because it is hard to do. What if we used Courage and took the chance to take something challenging on? When we want something to work out and it can be hard or scary to do we should push ourselves with risk over regrets. Our students are already practicing their courage and we are very proud of each of them! *Be Respectful *Be Responsible *Be Safe #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #OhHeyReedeGray #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #CardinalCode #Courage#Woohitike

Congratulations to our 3/22/24 Reede Gray Cardinal Code Shoutouts this week. As we continue to talk about Cooperation, we are all capable of using our talents to reach our individual goals. When we are able to combine our talents with others that is where we see groups succeed as a whole. We can see Cooperation at work in the classroom, school wide, in our families and in our community. This week's students are growing in their Cooperation each and everyday. We are very proud of each of them! *Be Respectful *Be Responsible *Be Safe #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #OhHeyReedeGray #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #CardinalCode #Coopearation #OyateOwichayakiyeyedo

Congratulations to our 3/15/24 Reede Gray Cardinal Code Shoutouts this week. Some ways that we can practice Cooperation when working in a group is to 1. Make sure that everyone understands their job or assigned role. 2. Take turns to make sure everyone gets to share their ideas and 3. Break big projects into smaller tasks and 4. Help each other and share the work! This group of students has been growing this in their Cooperation. So proud of our RG students. *Be Respectful *Be Responsible *Be Safe #ReedeGrayElementary #CharacterStrong #OhHeyReedeGray #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #CardinalCode #Coopearation #OyateOwichayakiyeyedo
